Of course, Skärva actually still cares about water temples. A lot.

Because it was our anniversary yesterday, we did a bit more advertising. If you’re new, be sure to say hello in the comments!
Altermentality:
By “yesterday” he means, of course, two days ago >__>
Is that a window showing the dawn of a new day, or an abstract painting representing Skärva’s Orange Fury (TM)? You decide!
Is it wierd I stayed up on the night of finals, vigorously refreshing the page to see the new comic?
LOVE The expressions in this one.
Silly!! Sleep is the most important thing you can get before a test! What if I had been late this time? Well, I’m glad it was worth it, anyway.
Good luck on your finals!
Oh yeah.
Ooooh yeeeah…
Dangit.
Well, you’ll do fine. But go to sleep next time, the comic will be there in the morning! And then you have less time to wait until the next update, right?
Ok. Thats a good point
Thanks!
Holy crap the 4th is skinny as hell! Never noticed before because he’s always wearing his outfit. (So this is the great grandson of my competition? Please tell me your joking.) THERE IS NO COMPETITION! (YES THERE IS!) JAKHJAKD. Anyways has the 4th always been that skinny? He needs some meat of those bones of his. (So I can actually feel my blows connect) bugger off.
JAKHJAKD?!
Yeah, he’s always been like that. He was even a stick-limbed little baby. I think his parents must have worried about him a bit.
Even with his outfit though, you should have noticed his little chicken legs! Everything else is so poofy so people don’t remark on how emaciated he looks, but he does ever love those boots.
well those were his legs, I know tons of people who’s legs would look more like Jack Skeleton legs than people legs. (Look at them so easy to snap) Please just stop. (NO!) You have gotten more restless in the past few weeks, I thought i kept you locked down tight! (well you thought wrong!) -_-” Also I love how Lorelei is all hugging Skarva happy that he woke up than her face goes “Are you kidding me?” When he says he’s going through with the god defeating plan. (Going to love watching him get splattered against the wall.) Your a heartless person. (Yes but I’m part of you) well the part I inhabit has a heart.
Skärva’s face: “Let’s not go there, Dirk!”
Dirk: “Sorry.”
What a stubborn face. XD
Derk. Derk.
I love his face. He comes off looking like sort of a kid having a tantrum when he’s lying in his sickbed with his robe on, though.
Whoops, “Derk”. I stayed up too late. :U
It’s ok.
All I can hear is Doctor Horrible’s “It’s a Brand New Day” while reading this one comic. I’ve gotta admit, it does sink really well.
That does fit amazingly well. I want Skärva to jump up and start singing that right now, with a few minor lyrical changes. He should eat something first though, we don’t want him fainting again.
The first two lines would have to vanish, and the bit about Australia, but other then that it’d be pretty exactly. Back a couple of pages when he was managing the Affably evil so very beautifully I could hear poisoning pigeons in the park, but that one was more just me then anything else. In all fairness, I -was- fanboying there. I was kinda disappointed that our resident Blank decided to be quite so nasty to Skarva there. I personally would LOVE to have a very intelligent villain who attempts to outsmart me and convince me to act in an evil way for his own gain AND my gain, because at least then he’s not causing tragedies.
Indeed, I think the only tragedies Skärva ever causes are upon himself…
Well, he ‘randomly’ steals various cultural artifacts, if you want to refer to significantly less valid tragedies. All of which mystically disappear by the start of his next scheme, so apparently Blank destroys them himself. Then you add in that Skarva’s not above ‘terrorizing’ a community for enough food to feed himself, in all fairness that’s not so much a tragedy as robbing random people. And failing at that. If we limit ourself to magic, I suspect Skarva reads a good deal of extremely rare books and then stores the books in his own private library instead of ever releasing them to the public, which mages and scholars would surely claim is a tragedy :P.
Blank is ever so fond of returning things to their ancient resting places, even swords – but by then Skärva knows they’ll be of no use to him. A god-blessed object merely won’t work in his hands. He has himself to rely on – well, himself and his guardian and his healer.
Skärva’s greatest crime is the amount of library fines he’s amassed over the years!
You’re not including the Ides he randomly discovers in every house he goes about vandalizing, right?
The last panel is adorable! Also, yeah, Skarva is so skinny! I guess maybe because magic food tastes… horrible?
I love all these comments on how absurdly skinny he is. And that’s true about magic food, but he sure does like to eat regular food. He and Derk could easily ravage a small mountain hamlet of its lunchmeat. But dat metabolism. I think it has something to do with how much magic he uses all the time, since magic is connected to food energy.
ha that was the first thing i noticed too! he’s really skinny, but i guess thats why he needs Derk around, right?
You’ve seen his arms before! Either I managed to draw him even thinner this time, or it’s something about his head being supported on that little neck that does it…
maybe its the fact that its in so many panels or its bigger or i finally decided to say something.
Kelly finally takes a stand against the apparent malnourishment of sharkmen in this kingdom!
I love lorelis expression when she says what xD, good luck to the forth! And also what has derk in such a bad mood? Did he not get his bacon?
I doubt he’s eaten much, having been up all night worrying about his best friend. And now that Skärva is awake and well, Derk STILL has to worry about him because he’s CRAZY.
Lorelei’s face in that first panel made me crack up! XD
AWWWWGG! Adorable hug!!
Oh, and Captcha is mispronouncing what Skarva is:
ackshera mann,
Skärva is so awkward at hugging. XD He’s like “Ok, I’ll just put my arm… here… I guess.”
Captcha is an entity on another plane of existence, struggling to reach out to us mortals and fit the vast scope of its thoughts into words that our brains can comprehend. It always says exactly what it needs to, only we don’t recognize the significance at times. Here I believe it is pointing out that despite being ackshera mann, Skärva is just a mann, and therefore expressing its doubts that he can defeat the deities of Idenau.
Uh… Wow… I just thought it was trying to say “Shark man.”(if you rearrange and choose some letters) Guess it just goes to show what I know about the all knowing Captcha… XP
To be fair, it is presumptuous of me to assume I know anything about it at all.
OMG, please tell me that someone made a gravatar out of the last panel. also, is the orange in the second to last panel because skarva is angry, or because or the orange wall. skarva looks to weak to produce much of that orange on his own, so maybe it’s a little of both.
yes captcha, skarva “Can ounch” thank you for noticing.
I need to be the one making gravatars. I’m so behind ;_;
Nah, he’s not too weak to produce his rage energy. We would need to be VERY worried if he was; he’d be either dying or extremely depressed.
Skärva’s Orange Fury, huh? Sounds like an alcoholic beverage made with Sunkist, or the Idenau equivalent.
Hmmm. I should invent this mixed drink…
“It could even be a Water Temple!” Personally, I think Skärva would go with that. xD But I guess that’s how sure he is about this plan. No matter how crazy it sound.
Captcha says “From Erengei”. Who is Erengei, and what are they sending us?
Well… not even a water temple has ever come through for him before, after all.
Did Derk just snark at Skärva?! No way!
He’s just trying to speak his boss’s language for once. Maybe that’ll get through to him. Except no it won’t.
I forgot to check for updates yesterday!!! But I was really busy and I’ve got finals next week, so it’s okay.
Skarvie’s being really ambitious this time around, isn’t he? Derk in the last panel is just too adorable.
I was wondering where you were! But yes, that is totally understandable.
With each scheme he gets a bit more ambitious, it would seem… and now he’s just decided to go all out. You can’t set your hopes much higher than this.
That’s true. I wish him all the best luck and hope he isn’t smite by the gods too badly.
I must say I love the faces Lorelei makes in this. From pure excitement to “If I or anything else was helping you stand right now, I’d drop you to the floor.”
I’ve started to have a lot of fun with her again recently. Like I did when I first was drawing her, but then she lapsed into a period where she seemed worried (not without reason) or just kind of backgroundy most of the time.
